I disagree completely. The State is run by humans, often humans who will do anything for power, including lying, cheating, killing. The difference between a corporation and the State is that the State has the final say, and thus, the ultimate power. Keep in mind that a corporation can't kill people without consequences, while a State can. That alone should be enough proof of the power they wield.

Ahem, Blackwater (or Academi)? East India trading company historically? And again, you're forgetting about the externalities that are less obvious and definitely less publicised. How many people working for Foxconn committed suicide because of the terrible working conditions or will die early as a result of them. Remember Erin Brokovich? How many lives have been ruined by companies like PG&E that were just never brought to justice?

  Blackwater is essentially an extension of the govt. East India company lasted 175 years - but the British govt is still going. Erin Brockovich won. Your point is?

    His point is that some corporations can, and do kill people without consequences.
